Fro'SX Tracker

So, after repeated hounding from one of my buddies, I thought I'd share my weekly SX Tracker that I started doing as of A1, back when this season had the promise of the best season ever for the fans. First 6 weeks: perfect, top 4 guys each have at least 1 win; then it all started to unravel....

Anyway, I've been keeping this thing going with the group of moto-heads I hang with. Just having a little fun each week with my own whacky views and observations from the prior week's race, and a results table with many of the top guys highlighted by unique color just to make it easy to see at-a-glance how their finishes vary or trend through the season.

This is all in good fun. These guys are the best of the best and I respect them all for their talent and achievements to make it at the AMA Pro level, and I only wish I could be 6 years old again so I could take a run at it. Oh well, there's always the Senior Class at Loretta's I guess...

This one covers the past 2 rounds, though admittedly the N.O. report is thin on content due to some tough circumstances I encountered last week.

Hope you enjoy it....

New Orleans Race Recap:

- Justin Barcia in response to Erin "YTR" Bates podium question about how hard it was to get back-to-back titles:

Seattle Race Recap:

- I agree with every rider interviewed about the track: Best Seattle track ever!
- Congrats to Shorty for pullin' off the win! How p1ssed must Brayton be??????
- Roczen needs psychiatric evaluation for his lap after lap "Triple off-the-top" jump - only one doing it and on just a 3.50 stroke
- KTM finishes 2nd in both classes, pretty cool, but....if Dunge coulda been on the podium, KTM in one night would have had a 250, 350, and 450 on the podium! Way to F it up Dunge! (j/k)
- Apparently, it IS about the bike: Gavin Faith + Bobbles' bike = continued geologic surveys
- I figured out what happened with "Believe the Hype" runnin' the "Cue ball" helmet in the main: he picked up his brother's heat race helmet by mistake. Check it:


- Tomac invents new take-out move: the Inverse T-bone. This is where you put your bike perpendicular to
the other guy's just after he grabs 3rd gear WFO and send him into a Superman No-Seatgrab
- Best Podium Interview Line EVER: "I was so crazeee in mah hemet!"
- Just found out, Mandalay Bay in Vegas, Fight Night, May 6th undercard: Tomac vs. Wilson

- RV is now out; Observations -
1) Good gawd, that makes at least the top 5 guys in SX have all been out at one time or another in SX.
2) Kawi is a bunch of liars, but so is every other team in the paddock when it comes to injuries
3) At least there's the 250F class and East/West shootout in Vegas
4) Teams are digging very deep to fill in for the decimated field. Based on the Vegas pre-entry list, my prediction of SX class Top 5: Davi Millsaps, Jeff Ward, Ryan Dungey, Justin Brayton, Lance Smail

- No new Sh1t I Hit List entries, since Bobbles is a couch potato again these past 2 weeks
